Either Monday or Tuesday I take a break form the study of this week's card and take a quick glance at the week ahead. Last week, I saw this game as a fantastic one to handicap and now it has taken on a completely different tone. The impact of the heinous actions by former Penn State defensive coordinator may be minimal since these horrific actions occurred years ago and that Sandusky has been out of the program since 1999. My hope is that the players, the school, and the community realize that Happy Valley is still a great community, where hard work is still the norm. That the actions of one very sick individual will not drag down the community and the University character that Happy Valley has represented for decades.
Are you surprised that Nebraska opened as a 2 1/2 point favorite?
